Rounding numbers globally

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, there are several ways to round numbers, especially when dealing with currency values or numbers with several decimal places. Here are some methods discussed in the threads: 1. Using JavaScript's native rounding functions: JavaScript's

Math.round()

function can be used to round numbers. However, it's important to note that this function rounds differently than humans do, especially when dealing with currency values. For example,

1.005.toFixed(2)

rounds differently than you would expect. 2. Using

.toFixed()

method: This method converts a number into a string, keeping a specified number of decimals. It can be used to round numbers to a certain number of decimal places. However, like

Math.round()

, it also rounds differently than humans do. 3. Using libraries like decimal.js or bignumber.js: These libraries can be used to handle rounding errors and perform mathematical operations with precision. 4. Using exponential notation shifting: This is a common workaround for rounding numbers in JavaScript. It's what the lodash

_.round

function does. 5. Using arbitrary precision libraries like big.js: These libraries can be used to handle rounding with precision. 6. Using SuiteScript's

ROUND()

function: In SuiteScript, you can use the

ROUND()

function to round numbers to a certain number of decimal places. For example,

ROUND(135.37534534534534534534534, 7)

will round the number to seven decimal places. Remember, the method you choose depends on your specific use case and the precision you need. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
